Hey all,

I have the Lotus EFT backpack. http://www.patagonia.com/webapp/commerce/Pgonia/Product.

(take out breaks before pasting) 
I had the pouch but didn't like it much. I've had the EFT for two 
years and love it. It lies flat and doesn't interfere at all with 
rolls of any sort, even with a high back deck. Just don't overstuff 
it. I usually keep a water pouch (a cheap Platypus Bigmouth) in the 
summer, or a thermos in the winter. I have thought about carrying 
my survival things in the pack, but as I've written here before I 
keep most of that stuff in a Naglene bottle in the cockpit. 

The EFT is pricey ($65 US), but I think it is worth it. I have an 
early Lotus Rio Grande that I got before they developed their specific 
sea kayaking vests and it really adds some functionality to it. The 
EFT will fit pretty much any PFD and while it looks a little big 
on the site, it is actually quite slim and lies flat when empty.
